Neighbourhood Networks value our staff team. Our team are flexible, confident and committed to supporting the organisation’s mission. Our staff ensure that we deliver the best service possible to the members we support so we want to give staff all the benefits we can.
Our Mission
Together Anything is Possible
Induction and Equipment
· All staff have a structured induction into the organisation to provide a clear understanding of the role you will play in the organisation and the opportunity to shadow existing members of staff.
· This will also include an office induction covering 3 main areas – Operations, information technology and admin / finance.
· Employees are provided with a company mobile phone and laptop, so you have the equipment required to carry out your role.
Staff Videos
The following videos were made by some of our staff team to highlight what its like working for Neighbourhood Networks and to explain how our roles are a bit different in the support that they provide our Network Members.
Staff Council
The staff council provides an opportunity for staff to give feedback to the organisation and also for the organisation to gain feedback from staff. This has representation from staff from all areas which is rotated to give everyone the opportunity to be involved with this working group.
Staff Training
Staff must register with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) within 3 months of their employment. From this point you then have 3-5 years to gain your SVQ qualification. We invest in staff being trained to SVQ level 3 in Health and Social Care. Additional hours can be negotiated towards study time.
Other training opportunities to support you in your role and for your own personal development are also encouraged.
Continuous learning and development is supported through an annual 360-degree appraisal which forms the organisation’s training strategy. There is also regular staff supervision, team meetings and staff training days known as Joint Development Days.
Joint Development Days take place 4 times per year, and we expect all staff to attend these. This is an opportunity for you to come together with the whole staff team to learn and gain support from each other.
Team Building opportunities take place throughout the year to build team relationships in a social environment. You can find out more about working with Neighbourhood Networks by hearing from some of our staff directly.
